Kendrick Lamar – “Michael Jordan” Video

Without sounding sensational, it’s a safe wager to assume that Compton hasn’t seen a kid this celebrated since Eric Wright and friends kicked in the door for their city and the whole coast. And while “Michael Jordan” isn’t my favorite track from Overly Dedicated, the purpose is served by letting the world know Kendrick Lamar is confident & well suited for carrying the city on his back.

I don’t see how you could hate the track! Yea it isn’t his best but it just shows Kendrick’s versatility & the video pretty dope too! BOUNCE BOUNCE BITCH! Shouts to very dope looking Kanary D on the cameo too! HII POWER!
PS – She a pretty dope MC herself too!

I think it’s voice on this more than anything. It aint my favorite, but it’s far from skippable.

We need more “The Heart” pt 1 & 2 and “I Do This” the OG and Remix and less “MJ”.

…With the occasional spazz out verses like “Monster” and “Look out for Detox”.

——————————————————————-PRETTY MUCH HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD
Its a very playable track and it serves it’s purpose.

Listened to “Detox” and then came back to “MJ” (listening and not watching). Despite the fact that one is a freestyle and one is a song, I think they are light years away from each other.

MZ said it best “I think it’s voice on this more than anything.” It sounds like he rapped without ever hearing the beat. Or maybe it’s just that Q was better suited to attack this type of beat. *shrug*

Whatever it is, I’ma recount and give him a mulligan on this one.

Oddly enough this song/video was my foray into his music and it made me interested in checking him out. Showed that he had some style and something unconventional that separates him from the pack. Upon checking his tapes I was very pleasantly surprised at his abilities and style which is definitely different from this track.

There is something disjointed about this track that I really enjoyed, it kind of seems like Kendrick’s ode to lil wayne and his influence on him with his delivery and word selection.
